When Kirsten finally released Seth, she told him to go up to his room and put away his things. Once he was gone, she hurried to the phone and dialed Sandy's cell phone.

" Hey Kirsten. " Sandy said happily.

" Sandy get home now ! " She said in a hurried tone and hung up.

As Seth stepped into his room, he looked around and noticed that nothing had changed. He felt as if he had never left, but then remembered that he had left. When he did he lost his parents, his brother, a friend in Marissa and the love of his life, Summer.

He had no idea on how he was going to win her back, but he knew during that process, she would have a humongous rage blackout on him for leaving. He hoped that everything could go back to the way that it was before he left, before Ryan left for Chino, when it was just the four of them.

With a heavy sigh, he put his suit case on his bed and sat down next to and continued to day dream about how things were before he or Ryan left Newport. He was finally brought out of his dream, when he heard the front door open and slam shut.

His curiosity spiked and he walked out of his room and down stairs, right into his parents conversation.

" What is the matter Kirsten ? You sounded stressed when you called. " Sandy said.

Seth walked up behind and Kirsten noticed this and just pointed behind Sandy. He turned around and was face to face with his son. The one person that ran away from his problems and caused his family to worry, missing important events, such as his grand father's funeral two years after he left or his mother's battle with alcoholism.

Sandy stared into Seth's eyes for a few minutes, then hugged him tightly for a minute. Once he let go, he turned and walked into the kitchen.

Both Seth and Kirsten were some what confused by Sandy's reaction. They walked into the kitchen and found him drinking a cup of coffee at the kitchen table and reading the newspaper.

" Aren't you happy Sandy, our son finally came home ! ' Kirsten said excitedly.

" Did he come home or is he running from another problem some where else ? " Sandy asked without even looking up from the paper.

" Sandy ! " Kirsten hissed, she was hoping Sandy would be happy his son finally came home, not holding a grudge because he left.

" It is alright mom, I deserved that. " Seth said.

Kirsten looked at Seth and quickly turned to Sandy, who was now looking up at them.

" All you have to say is you deserve it ? " Sandy asked as he shook his head.

" Yeah and I am sorry. " Seth said as he took a small step forward, towards his father.

" I can't believe you ! " Sandy hissed as he stood up. " You ran away just because you were having problems and you finally after seven years. Then all you have to say is your sorry !!! " Sandy said as he looked Seth directly in his eyes.

" What else do you want me to say dad ? Was I just supposed to stay here and watch as things went back to the way they were before Ryan came here ? Watch as Summer would turn her back on me and ignore me like she did before ? " Seth asked.

" You were supposed to face it like a man Seth, not a coward ! " Sandy said flatly.

" Is that what you call what Ryan did, facing it like a man ? He got a girl pregnant, that sounds more like something a arrogant teenager would do ! " Seth stated bluntly.

" Yes, he got a girl pregnant, but did he turn tail and run away ? No, he went back to Chino with her and worked his ass off to pay for food, rent, doctors appointments and many other things. But you didn't know that, because you ran away ! " Sandy said.

" Sandy, Seth stop this right now ! We should be happy that Seth is home, not fighting about it ! " Kirsten pleaded.

" But the question still remains, is he here to stay or is he going to run once he has a problem ! " Sandy said without looking away from Seth.

" I am not running away dad, I am going to try to fix my life and hopefully get things back to the way they were ! " Seth said.

" ENOUGH ! " Kirsten yelled, causing Seth and Sandy to turn to her. " Seth go to your room and stay there until 5:30 and then come down for dinner. We are having a party tonight and you will be there ! " Kirsten said.

Seth gave her a small smile before walking away, thinking maybe things were working out. Maybe his mother was going to plan a small party to announce him returning home.

Once Seth was out of ear shot, Sandy turned towards Kirsten with a mad look on his face. " Please tell me you did not just invite Seth to Summer and Ryan's anniversary party tonight ! "

" Why not, everyone is going to be there and he can come and get it over with. " Kirsten.

" You just turned what was supposed to be a happy event into what will be a fight ! " Sandy said flatly and walked out of the kitchen to leave Kirsten to think about what she had done.

Ryan, Summer and Neil had finished eating lunch and were sitting on the patio talking.

" How is your store going Summer ? " Neil asked.

" It is doing really good Daddy. We got more busy when the new designs came in. " Summer said.

" That is great to hear. I am happy that you two are happily married. " Neil told them.

" So am I. " Summer said, then turned and smiled at Ryan and received a smile in return.

" So what do you have planned for your anniversary tomorrow ? " Neil asked.

" Just spending the night at home. " Summer said.

" I have something planned for us. " Ryan said.

Summer was about to say something, when a cell phone began to ring and Neil took his out of his pocket " Excuse me, I will be right back. " He said as he stood up and answered his cell phone as he walked off.

" What do you have planned for us ? " Summer asked sweetly.

" Don't even try it. It is a surprise that you will just have to wait for. " Ryan said.

" There is no way I could get you to tell me huh ? " Summer asked as she leaned towards him slowly.

" Not a chance. " Ryan said and kissed her.

They continued kissing each other, unaware of Neil that returned a moment earlier and just watched them with a smile on his face. After a minute, Neil cleared his throat and they pulled apart and turned towards him.

" Sorry to interrupt. " Neil said smiling at them as they each had a small blush arise on their faces. " I am afraid I have to cut this short, something came up at the hospital and I have to go there. " Neil finished.

Ryan and Summer stood up and Ryan shook Neil's hand. Summer hugged him and whispered " You are still coming to Sandy and Kirsten's for the party tonight right ? " she asked.

" I wouldn't miss it for the world. " He answered back in a whisper, which caused Summer to smile.

Summer pulled out of the hug and took Ryan's hand as they walked towards the front door, Neil just smiled and walked into his office. When they were outside, Ryan walked Summer over to her car. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. They both smiled and Summer leaned in and kissed him passionately. Once she pulled away, she smiled sweetly at him and he just laughed.

" What ? " She asked innocently.

" I am still not telling you what I have planned. " Ryan said.

" Fine, I will see you at home. " She said before kissing him once more.

She started her car and drove away as Ryan smiled and watched her before getting in his car and driving towards home. Fifteen minutes later, they arrived home at the same time and walked to the front door. Summer unlocked the front door as Ryan got the mail and followed her in as he was sorting threw it. Summer walked over to the answering machine and saw they had two messages. She pressed play, the first message was from a friend of Ryan's from work confirming what time he was supposed to be at Sandy and Kirsten's for the party. The other message was from an employee saying they had sold out of a dress that Summer designed.

Once the messages had ended, she walked into the small office she shared with Ryan in the house. " I need to talk to you. " She said as she walked in.

" I am still not telling you. " Ryan said as he was writing a check for a bill.

" It isn't about that, it is about my doctors appointment this morning. " As she finished, Ryan's head shot up and looked at her, urging her to continue.
At 5:15, all the guests had arrived at Sandy and Kirsten's for the party. They were just about to walk out and sit down at the big table set up on the patio, when Kirsten spoke up " Before we begin, we have a surprise guest. "

Everyone looked at each other, except for Sandy, ready for the argument that was about to happen. Moments later, Kirsten walked down stairs, followed by Seth and everyone had a different look on their face. Neil's was hatred, for the fact Seth ran away from his daughter, on top of the fact that he didn't like him in the first place. Ryan had a look of shock on his face, but then his facial expression changed to one of concern as he turned to Summer, who had a combination of shock, hurt and hatred on her face.

" Hey everyone. " Seth said.

" Don't speak and don't even think about ruining this night for anyone ! " Summer said flatly and walked away towards the patio.

Ryan wanted to stay and talk to Seth, but he knew Summer well enough that she needed him to be by her side and he also knew not to get on his wife's bad side. Neil followed Ryan and Summer with concern for his daughter and Sandy followed them for concern for Ryan as well as Summer.

Soon everyone walked out to the patio with Seth being last. He looked around and saw a table set up with presents, then turned towards Summer. Who was sitting next to Ryan holding his hand while they were placed on the table. Seth thought this was odd and then he looked above Summer and Ryan, then everything made sense.

Directly above them was a banner that read " Happy Wedding Anniversary Ryan and Summer ! " He couldn't believe his eyes, this night couldn't get any worse. He walked over to his mother and took a seat next to her, which was near Ryan and Summer.

Before anyone could eat, Ryan spoke up " Before we eat, we wanted to say a few things. Thank you for being her, we are happy that you could join us. "

Ryan turned to Summer as she spoke " We also wanted to announce that...I am pregnant ! " She said happily

Everyone at the table congratulated them and asked all kinds of questions, while Seth sat in his seat, staring down at his plate as he thought " I thought this night couldn't get any worse ! "
